膀胱癌全摘後に発症し脳転移との鑑別に苦慮した脳悪性リンパ腫の1剖検例

概要

We report a case of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) in an 81-year-old man who had undergone radical cystectomy with an ileal conduit urostomy due to a diagnosis of muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The postoperative diagnosis was invasive urothelial carcinoma (pT2bN1M0, stage IV). Gemcitabine-cisplatin therapy was provided as adjuvant chemotherapy, and there was no recurrence during follow-up. Four years after surgery, he visited the emergency department because of weakness of the lower extremities and stuttering. He was found to have a parietal lobe mass on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hospitalized with suspicion of brain metastasis. Despite examination by a neurosurgeon, it was not possible to make a clinical diagnosis, and the patient gradually deteriorated and died 21 days later. The pathology results were diagnostic of PCNSL.
